Quote: Adam Gopnik on the paintings of Wayne Thiebaud

"Thiebaud challenges us to be true to the real sources of our happiness, to the way that in a haphazard commercial culture small areas of order appear ... and become in our memories as sacred as stained glass, and at times as sad ... how confidently he knows that getting the happiness down right will convey the sadness too." (italics mine)
